Conditional Access developer Viaccess, a France Telecom company, announces that TPS, one of the largest French pay-TV operators, has chosen Viaccess PC2.5 smart cards to serve its new subscribers.

PC2.5, launched in June 2003, features crypto-algorithm differentiation that enables the effective isolation of different operations using the same smart card generation. PC2.5 is today the best system available to combat piracy, the company claims.
